January Becoming Busy Real Estate Month

Spring has been known as the popular season for real estate shopping, but it seems that it is changing. Over the past few years, more and more people are starting their housing search earlier and earlier. The housing shortage is making the real estate market more competitive and causing homebuyers to start looking earlier than spring. According to Realtor.com, U.S. housing inventory is expected to be at a record low in 2020.

According to Realtor.com, January is starting to become a big month for real estate sales. It is reported that in 2019, “January was the busiest month on the site in 20 of the largest 100 metropolitan markets.” This number of views is up from January 2019, and is expected to increase in January 2021.
